donaboss 131 Posted January 9, 2014 Thank god I've been doing soo soo good! I even went back to work on Monday and during lunch I go the mall and walk for an hour. I've been drinking lots of Water and I don't have to sip.. I can actually drink a lot. Today I decided to go the gym and I only went on the treadmill for 50min and lost 200 cal. Tomorrow I see my but for the first time after surgery. I hope he lets me starts my second phase since I've been doing so well. If not, I can still wait till Monday ... I am so motivated to lose weight and of course heal... I even motivated my co-worker who is struggling to lose weight to go the gym makes me feel good. 2 Mrs.RRn and vsggirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Careful not to do too much..You are still healing and your staples are not healed yet either..Trust me you don't want a leak, stricture or go septic...Be good to yourself a bit more and talk to your team about what they think you should start out with ans when.....K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donaboss 131 Posted January 10, 2014 How was your appointment? It went great. I had no idea that the first time they make you sit in a conference with other sleevers and they go over the meal plans... That took about an hour!!! As of today, I weigh 195 so a total loss of 18lbs. The doc said I look great and was ok with me going the gym. They even suggested to use the bike now. Today I went to the gym and I burned 250calories and walked 2.75miles... I feel great Ohh so since surgery, my neck has been killing me so the doc prescribed neck medication and I can't wait to take it so this pain can go away. It started with my neck, it went to the shoulder and then my head. Today I ha a huge Migraine at work and I know it's all from the neck. I went for a massage, put on a heating pad including an icepack. So I hope these medications works. So I had 18oz of Water while at the gym for an hour not bad ehh?
